Chapter 198: The Old Man Beckons

Lan Jue nodded his head “It’s not breaking the rules, either When you thren the proverbial gauntlet, you called for anyone from the school I am a part of the school”

Su He looked at him in surprise “You’re a teacher here?”

“Yup,” Lan Jue replied, “though I’m only really interested in an easy and care-free life You helped us a lot back ere school to see you for a while, in fact Now,I’ this secret”

Su He’s breath had quickened since the beginning of their conversation Lan Qing, and Lan Jue! To him, the two naainst his brain like a tidal wave

Theand Lan Jue had just entered in to the university He was a national scholar in his school, and already a Sovereign-ranked pilot He stood out from the others in his class as exceptional

At that time his school had a policy, in which upper classmen were expected to take care of and show around newer students They would lead them around, and acclimate them to university life

Su He had been assigned to Lan Qing A name that would forever be branded on his mind

Everything Lan Qing did, he did with supreet right in the swing of things It was easy, as all he did every day was study religiously

Su He still clearly re for help and advice His response had been to be aloof and superior, soant towards the new student

However, Lan Qing didn’t seey in to his studies

This continued until one day, when Su He told him not to waste his life with those books and notes If he wanted one day to be a strong pilot, then he needed to get out there, and experience it for hi arena

That hen Su He’s nightan

He saw it in his mind’s eye like it was yesterday Three matches, orse results even than he’d suffered today Three terrible defeats at the hand of that quiet underclass was also a Sovereign-ranked pilot but he had only just enrolled in classes

Worse still, the entire debaucle had been recorded by the school and kept for posterity It was for good reason, for not three years later Lan Qing was a God-ranked pilot A God-ranked pilot, still in college His college! Fro didn’t attend any of the national scholar classes, in fact leaving school entirely It was said he left for a very important reason, one which attracted Alliance-wide attention

If that had been the end of it, it would have been fine However, a year before Lan Qing left, his younger brother had also enrolled in the same school

Whether by the university’s design or cruel coincidence, Su He was selected as Lan Jue’s chaperone as well By that tiram

Once again Su He bore witness to the inconceivable In precisely the sa, Lan Jue becaraduate from the university Like his brother before hiraend

What Lan Jue did after he left, Su He had no idea His brother, though… everyone knew Lan Qing’s name The Anlun Supersoldier, Hero of the East!

The Great Protector, who saved a whole planet, and thus the alliance

Su He thought back to his lengthy time as Lan Jue’s chaperone He was even smarter than his brother, from what he could remember Both were equally mysterious No one knohere they’d coth were still spoken about in that school to this day

“I never would have thought I’d run in to you here, ain I appreciate you showing mercy” The last feords seemed difficult for Su He to spit out However, now that he kneas Lan Jue he’d just faced in the Arena, everything started to make sense

Without a doubt, he did get off easy

“My classmate’s abilities have improved tremendously since the last time we met Still, there are some… limitations”

Su He fixed him with a stare “What do you mean?”

“My dear classest failing And that is, you’re too fixated on your genetic talent Unless I’y It’s an incredible Talent, which even though you’re eight-level can contend easily with many other kinds of ninth-level Disciplines And yet even back then, you were convinced you would have a difficult ti God-ranked, simply because you weren’t ninth-level”

“I was still young and inexperienced then, and so had no way to contradict your belief But now I can, and Iis flawed I’ve hth-level Talents who achieved God status Youyourself in this Focus on your then your self-confidence Mentor, your greatest fault has always been a lack of confidence!”

Lan Jue’s words were like a thunderbolt He si at him

His former classmate smiled, waved, and left

Soe the view fro a revelation

Su He had long been preparing for God status, but it appeared now that he had been taking the longer road

Lan Jue did not return to the school once leaving Su He, it was too rowdy Presumably everyone was still excited over the upset the NEU pulled More than that, he was also afraid he e Goddess He uise, but the trouble that would ensue if she still o hoe clothes
